Washington DC [United States], Jan 12 ( ANI ): United States
President Donald Trump on Friday went on a Twitter spree, expressing his
apparent displeasure with the bipartisan DACA agreement branding it as
"a big step backwards."

"The so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to
myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step
backwards. Wall was not properly funded, Chain & Lottery were made
worse and USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high
crime....." Trump, wrote, in a Twitter post.

"....countries which are doing badly. I want a merit based
system of immigration and people who will help take our country to the
next level. I want safety and security for our people. I want to stop
the massive inflow of drugs. I want to fund our military, not do a Dem
defund...."

In addition to this, Trump slammed Democrats on the deal, accusing
them of risking a shutdown and taking the DACA deal
"backwards."

"....Because of the Democrats not being interested in life and
safety, DACA has now taken a big step backwards. The Dems will threaten
"shutdown," but what they are really doing is shutting down
our military, at a time we need it most. Get smart, MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN!"

According to the Hill, Trump's comments come as a bipartisan
group of senators works to reach a deal to protect Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients as part of a government
funding bill.

Lawmakers are rushing to reach a deal by Jan19.

Trump last year scrapped the Obama-era DACA program, which allows
certain young immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children to
live and work without fear of deportation.
